Ron 'R.J.' Bowers, 70

| August 1, 2021 12:00 AM

Ron “R.J.” Bowers passed away July 23, 2021, at the age of 70, after a 3-year battle with multiple myeloma cancer.

Per his request, no services are planned. Ron always loved a good party. Therefore, at a later date, his family plans to have a celebration of life in his honor.

R.J. found great pleasure in camping and fishing and was an excellent cook and grill master. He had a huge heart and would do anything for anybody if asked. Ron and his wife Terri owned and operated R.J.s Kitchen in Black Eagle, Montana, during the early ‘90s. He then went on to become a regional salesman for Whites Metal Detectors for many years until retirement.

He loved all animals and loved to be close to nature. Spending time with his son and granddaughter was very special to him. They were the light of his life. He also enjoyed making items out of tree roots and could fix just about anything that needed repair. He was a history buff and loved to read and watch old movies.

Ron will be missed by all who knew him, especially his loving wife, Terri; son, Dustin Bowers; granddaughter, Cydnee Raye (Jake) Lewis; siblings, Karmen (Greg) Moore, Linda (Paul) Eichwald, and Gary (Cindy) Bowers; faithfull, loving dogs, Lucy and Bella; as well as his many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Dena Raye Bowers; mom and dad, Melba and Ray Bowers; as well as his aunts and uncles.

In memory of Ron, memorials are suggested to the Maclean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center (900 25th Ave. NE, Great Falls, MT 59404). Condolences for the family may be shared online at www.schniderfuneralhome.com.
